Unrest - punk band (split
1993). Over the years they had many members and formats. Feat; Andy (drms),
Viki (voc), Shreddy (gtr), Toe (gtr), Fatty (voc), Jackie(voc), Bone (voc,stunt
gtr), Gobba (keys/voc), Baz (bass), Marc (gtr), Phil (drms). Other members were
draughted in whenever necessary - due to absences, jail sentences, or general
drug over-frenzies, incl Ian (drms), Sven (voc), Mike (drms). Longest lasting
format was Andy Killian, Marc McDermott, Baz Clarke, Fat John (Collins) and
Jackie Swanson, lasting around 7-8 years before Phil Irving replaced Andy for
around 3 years. Gobba (Mark Graham) filled Fatty's boots for 18 months before
Phil joined. The same long lasting format was also called Radio Mongolia when
Bone sang and played guitars instead of Marc, and I played guitars for the last
6, although they can't really remember clearly - as anyone who saw them ever
should know why. They had often consumed more chemicals than the rest of the
squat or nightclub put together, making details a little sketchy. Phil once
drank 72 cans of lager before a recording session in a studio. The band had
done the equivalent in other chemical forms. Memorable gigs incl the 'Night Of
The Purple Ohms Gig' in the Toxteth squat, the gigs in Holly House (jesus!
anyone remember them? anyone for some more punch? ho ho), Trecastle and
Portsmouth festivals, where they were possibly tripping more than ever before,
May Days in Sefton Park (lpool), the annual punks' picnics in Hulme
(Manchester), the Dolehouse squat in London, the Sunnyside gig in Toxteth which
trashed a house & was subsequently demolished, oh and the 'Night Of The
Gore' halloween gig in some house in Liverpool where they had fantastic gore
makeup on that was so convincing Marc even shat myself at one point when he saw
himself in the mirror after wondering why so many people were running away from
him!
So where are they now? Don't know about Viki or Shreddy. Bone is in Amsterdam
doing live events, p.a.'s etc, and Marc's currently working on a new project
which they're quietly quite excited about. Anyone who liked Mongolia will like
this new updated experience. Gobba plays gigs in lpool under the name "Gobba
And The Monsters From The Id". He also does p.a.'s. Jackie runs a
healing event in lpool which brings together loads of different styles of
healers under one roof and which undercuts the market by a significant amount.
She also does physical performance art and numerous other things. Andy
disappeared - ru out there andy? Toe and Phil are living a life of leisure in
lpool. Fatty lives in Spain in the Southern Alps, where he grows olive trees
and is generally as debauched as ever in the most beautiful way. Baz is a
director/producer of extreme sports TV programs which you may have seen on Ch4,
including UK Streetluge and Muay Thai competitions. Marc makes films and works
as a freelance camera operator and editor, recent stuff included an anti war
video shown at the Stop The War Rally and other places - available for download
at www.firewhorl.com (called Mantra For The Man) - made with Andy Stevenson (ex
Terrajacks). Marc has a new band called Mojo Storm
